While DEAFKIDS’ previous release, Configuração Do Lamento, captured the group delving deep into their own diverse and discordant musical world, Metaprogramação pushes these elements to entirely new extremes. The band imprints a future-primitive psychic scenario into their music by weaving a fabric of electronic pulses, barrages of delay and noise, wailing guitars, and frenzied rhythms that ricochet aggressively between the speakers. Songs are urgent yet fluid, melting and dissolving into one another, culminating in a wild psychedelic journey that's bound to reach one’s mind through the body while intoxicating both.
“…one of the most exciting bands I have heard in a very long time.” - Steve Von Till, Neurosis/Neurot
“…a fusion of future-primitive soundscapes, Afrobeat and tribal polyrhythms, and industrial wasteland electronica thematically investigating the concept of metaprogramming…” – Decibel Magazine
“Somewhere between Neurosis and Sepultura lies Brazil's DEAFKIDS, a self-described ‘noise-punk’ outfit that more than lives up to that descriptor…” – Revolver Magazine
"Arranged with genuine cinematic vision and accuracy...it’s a DEAFKIDS record, from here on that means something." – The Wire
“It’s hard to know where to start with an album as stunning as this. It’s noisy, it’s industrial, it’s pummeling, and it’s ultimately completely satisfying...a wondrous journey of noise that is ear shattering, danceable and gnarly at every turn. 9/10.” – Louder Than War
“Hook by hook by hook Metaprogramação is pure musical immersion… 8/10” – Metal Hammer
